Just got my visa approved email via London embassy, 9 months with Muay Thai at Fitfac Ekkamai

Submitted 3 months of bank statements with over 11k GBP, & driving license for proof of current address

- Applied - 28th March morning

- Asked for a cropped version of my photo & flight ticket from airline directly to Thailand - 28th March 4pm

- Asked for boarding pass and exit stamp of last leaving Thailand - 31st March 4.45pm (went through E-gates so didn't have exit stamp and explained this on the pdf I submitted with boarding pass)

- Updated to "Pending Approval" - 2nd April

- Approved - 8th April 7.30pm

Does anyone have any experience of getting or trying to get a yellow house book (ท.ร.13) as a DTV holder? Thanks.

I saw a few ppl on TikTok CLAIM to have received a DTV using their military retirement (US). How? Is that possible?

Hey! I have a question about the DTV visa on medical grounds. Does it have to be a necessary procedure, or can it be a package like a full health screening?

Has anyone got approved through things like allergy testing or a full health screening?

Thanks in advance!

Hello

About how much will be required for a Retirement visa for a 50 + foreigner with Immigration and visa agent charges?

Yesterday I went to our local immigration office to obtain a re-entry permit. I have a couple of trips planned so I asked him if I require to do a new digital TM6 as I return on the 2nd May. Basically my logic says no as I've been issued a permit. The IO was unable to answer the question.

If you do the softpower way lets say with muay thai, will they ask you for new course purchase once you fly back to thailand to get new stamp once your first 6 months are expired? How about the extension way at immigration?

I am planning to stay 6 months per year in thailand and fly back 6 months later

Just a quick question please - does the 6 months per year stay in Thailand start at the beginning of each year, ie January through December or is it in a any 12 months period ie from April through March?. Thank you in advance.

🏦 Bank Update: Just saw this when I walked into Krungsri to have them activate my mobile banking app on my new phone. As of February 9, 2024, they no longer open accounts for these types of visas:

1. Tourist

2. Free Visa

3. DTV

4. ED (except 4 years at a University and International School).

I'm so lucky my landlord helped me open an account years ago. 🙏💳📃

What are the laws for retirement in Thailand l am an Australian citizen thanks
